[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EvoXOhio:
I'm not sure I agree with this entirely. If we were trying to fix it ourselves, then I agree with this statement. However it's already fixed in Touchwiz. Touchwiz has already been ported to other tablets like the Acer Iconia, so it's hackable. In theory, as long as the fix is not part of the Touchwiz framework, but rather in the google framework, we should be able to extract the relevant files and shove them into stock honeycomb. it may be ugly and it may require source to optimize it, but i think we can do something with it.

I don't often have to type in a text box while in the browser on the GT but when I do I feel like breaking this thing in fnin half...

The swype keyboard inserts spaces in spots that I don't really need it to and trying to backspace is a nightmare.

I am sure there is a setting somewhere in swype to change this but I may be updating the tab today at the NYC event so I will worry about it afterwords. I may try thumb keyboard instead of swype also.

Typing lag is due to the "Instant" feature in Google. It's a javascript issue.

Hi,

Can anyone post you s/w version screen after the TW update please ? I have a 3G enabled European 10.1 Tab with TW and still seem to suffer from the keyboard lag issue in the browser. Also the blue highlight is still there. Possibly I still run an older version of TW.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EvoXOhio:
I don't have my tablet with me, but go to the development section and look at the ROMs that DocRambone has posted. It's fixed in those.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CapinWinky:
I've had a Nexus One for a while and, like many N1 owners, I would rather spend the time to root the hard way than unlock the boot loader. Well it kept getting harder, so several N1 users started to apply updates and keep root by simply not rebooting after updates until we take measures to keep root (way easier than rooting from scratch). For the N1, you just flash a system update.zip from recovery, then, without rebooting so you still have root, apply whatever changes you need to keep root (normally just su.zip for the N1). I did this going from Froyo to gingerbread without issue.

Well, I just got my girlfriend a G2 and was surprised to learn about all the complex anti-root stuff going on with the emmc, but I'm wondering what an update can possibly do to reenact these anti-root measures that can't be undone before rebooting the phone (while still in Clockwork recovery or whatnot). Do these updates power cycle the emmc? If so, can the update.zip just be modified to not do this?

I'm guessing I just don't fully understand the different security measures and how they can protect themselves from a root user that is already in custom recovery.

I would love to play with this, but my GF is 100% end user and will not see the merit in me possibly wiping the phone several times in the name of progress.

Maybe if we ask netzpirat really nicely...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] djchad72:
Anyone get force closes on apps when you set the Tab in the media dock? I've had a few hit and miss today. But today I set it in and almost every app that was recently used force closed..... music, browser, gmail, moxier mail, etc...

It was quite a list of deceased apps. Pretty scary. Media dock is nice and small for desk, great angle, and charges tab plus can hook up my deal speakers...... but this plus the fact it is eat my 30 invisible shield alive is getting very annoying. I am normally pretty patient and will ignore petty things. But when setting it in requires a reboot almost everytime to resume normal operation is bad.
[HTC EVO 3D] antibomb:
Hey guys, I couldn't find any working Miqlive for the E3D, or gingerbread period.

I emailed the devs and this is what they sent me. Works like a champ for me.

Here's the email traffic as well...

First response:

"Greetings from mIQ! Thank you for your email.

mIQ is not yet available for Android Gingerbread.

Unfortunately we do not yet have a timeline for 2.3 support.

Our currently application should work on your phone, though it has not been

thoroughly tested. Because of this, it is not yet available in the Market.

If you'd like to try it anyway, we can send you the APK to test out.

Let us know.

Sincerely,

mIQ Customer Care"

Second response:

"Greetings from mIQ!

The APK is attached.

1. Copy the APK file to your Android?s memory card

2. Download and install an Apps Installer application from the Android Market

3. Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory

card

4. Click and install the APK file

We look forward to your feedback.

Sincerely,

mIQ Customer Care"

It easily synced my contacts from the online account to my phone. It did not push all my old texts and photos from my Evo 4g to the 3d though, but thats fine for my use.

All of the old 4g content is still available online and the new 3d content is being backed up just fine as well.

Thank You!

I just rooted and flashed to 2.3, and have been looking for a good apk. Syncing right now!

I have a SGS II and it is well detected by Heimdall ver: 1.3.0 on Linux Kubuntu 11.04.

To flash a ROM you (maybe !) need to launch heimdall-frontend with admin rights. (sudo).

[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Hi. After trying Honeystreak 2.0, I fell in love with the 120 screen density. However, I know since some people may not want to upgrade to Honeystreak for some reason or another, or just like Froyo more than Honeycomb, I am working on modding the stock 2.2 ROM to use a lower screen density, giving it more of a tablet feel.

So, I've already lowered the screen density to 120 (I can use 130 or 140 if people prefer) and I am trying a few different launchers (I saw a stock Froyo launcher in an Evo 4G thread, it if looks good, I might use that, to get more of a stock Android experience) because Dell Stage does not look good if you change the density. I might to a couple build.prop edits, to make it feel smoother, and I plan on removing or adding apps (it's already root, so Superuser and Root Explorer will be included.)

If anyone has any requests for apps to add or remove, any advice that might help, or anything else useful, please feel free to tell me.

Also, since this uses the 2.2 kernel, this should be flashable through CWM, which is the main reason I am making it. Basically, it'll be stock Froyo, on the stock kernel, designed to feel more like a tablet.

Since this is more of a discussion than a ROM release, being that it's not out yet, if this would be better in general, mods can feel free to move it :-)

EDIT: So, here are the changes from stock Froyo: Dell Stage has been replaced with Launcher Pro (set to display a 6x6 icon grid), it's pre-rooted and comes with Super User and Root Explorer, the build.prop has been edited for a 130 screen density, less frequent scanning for a wifi network (to save battery), and smoother scrolling and scaling. I want to find a user agent that enables all market apps, and remove some bloatware.
[Dell Streak 7] navycow:
Love launcher pro, if you could theme it like ginger bread that would be awesome too.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I don't think the free verison of LauncherPro is themable, but I can probably install a Gingerbread themed launcher as an alternative.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
More a kernel than a ROM thing, but I want tun.ko, and I know some others want CIFS.. I'm really missing using OpenVPN on my DS7, as it's the only way I can sync my Google account at work on wifi without tethering to my phone.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
Why go back to froyo? rooted gingerbread with cwm density 120 would be nice.....;)
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
lol. It's Froyo because, unlike DJ_Steve, I am not awesome enough to port anything else. Modding the OS it comes with is alot easier than making a new one :P

Anyways, I am basically using Build.prop and adding/removing APK's to make it feel more like a tablet. Then, I'm going to create a zip using CWM or something.
[Dell Streak 7] shawnpenny:
I would like it to be fast and swift with no bloat wear and also support for swapper 2
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
Send dj steve some dr dre beats headset funds and im sure he will let you use his gingerbread and then you can mod it with cwm and change density and maybe add overclocking:D lol
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Try Zeam Launcher. It's pretty simple, but free and you can customise the rows/columns and such to make it more tablet-like.

I'd like to see overclock, black notification bar, and improved battery life. If there's anything that can be done to make Cell Standby not such a hog (way more battery goes to this over my Galaxy Tab), that would be awesome.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Well, as far as improved battery life, for the WiFi version, the cell apk's will be disabled by default, and I did a build.prop edit that scans for open wifi networks less frequesntly, so if WiFi is on but not connected, you drain less battery scanning. I've tried changing the Browser user-agent in build.prop, but when I went to whatismyuseragent or whatever that site is, even though it said I was using Mozilla 5, it still knew it was Android, so I'm looking for a way to better spoof a PC, so mobile sites aren't viewed by default. As far as editing cell standby or overclocking, I might get DJ_Steves Streakdroid 1.3 build, and then apply my changes to that, so you get the overclocking kernel, but that would mean taking away Bluetooth. Also, I'm still trying to figure out how to rip the ROM with clockwork - if I just make a backup, it checks the MD5, so it won't work for someone else.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Lol. 2 problems. First, if he had a Gingerbread ROM, I think he would've released it. Second, if I had a pair of Beats, I'm keeping those 300 dollar headphones for myself :P
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
things to add

A couple of major things to have would be :

1) a modified wpa supplicant file to allow tethering to adhoc (pm me if u need it)

2) any basic file explorer

3) a working overclock

4) vtl launcher - xda flavor :)

Just a few for thought :)
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Ugh. Don't insult our only dev by mentioning insanely overpriced, terrible headphones. ;)
[Dell Streak 7] giant420:
There are several features that I am used to on CM7 that I miss daily on my tablet. Primarily, the notification power widget and the ability to swipe to clear notifications. Also, being able to select the rotation angles available would be handy.

Would be nice but might be a bit much: Automatic backlight level adjustments and lockscreen tweaks.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Swipe on notifications is a Gingerbread function.. and really? That annoys me more than anything.
[Dell Streak 7] giant420:
Oh god yes, I am going crazy without it! How do you get rid of a single notification if you dont want to open the app? For example, when downloading updates from the market. I love the ability to swipe swipe swipe, open, swipe. I have never once accidentally dismissed something I didnt want to, so I dont see how it could be even remotely annoying.

For me it seems like the most intuitive solution.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
I've never once cared to leave a single notification, I always just hit clear.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Options: the beauty of Android. I second the swipe to clear a single notification idea.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I wish I could do that. I'm basically just using APK's and build.prop tweaks to get it how I want it. I don't know enough about programming for Android to do anything interesting :-/

Basically, as of now (and untill I figure out how to rip the ROM for public upload) it's a lower screen density, some build.prop tweaks for smoother scrolling and better battery life, running on rooted Froyo. It's pretty basic :-/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickgoldner:
So... i've read a lot of topics about dead captivates, but it seems that all of them are related with something during a flash procedure.

Well, mine just died yesterday after a week using Darky 10.2 in perfect state.

It was charging in the morning, i remembered checking it once and it was with 62%, when i came back to check again to see if it was full, it was already off and just wouldn't turn it on again.

Tried taking out the battery, even tried the one from my brother (he has the I9000), tried different cables, tried different button combinations and nothing, really, nothing happens.

Dunno if it's important but my cappy suffered from the shut down problem... On Froyo it would shut down like 4 times a week, when changed to GB it was once a week...

Anyway, im not in the US (that's why i didn't replaced mine, i've bought it when i went to the US in last October.

It still has the guarantee, so could anyone point me out a direction ? I have a friend that it's going on the end of August to NY (he is going to be there for 2 months), so it maybe be my only chance...

Unless you can find me a solution to fix the phone :o !

[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
usually reboot is required when your phone loses signal then has trouble reconnecting to the network.

It has happened numerous times on other android devices I have used and usually when I leave the coverage area and either the phone or the android system has trouble refreshing the network status.

I am surprised you didn't reboot it before you posted on here :)
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
I rebooted it when I was still at the fairgrounds with the touchy signal, still had it, wanted it to stay when i got home to post the screen shot since i need to have it plugged in to get a screenshot from the phone.

and the phone still worked 100% so it didnt bother me. was just odd... makes me wonder that when the R800x is finally rooted if it will become a world phone.
[Xperia Play General] semclurker:
The GSM and CDMA varients share a common software foundation which has historically been focused on GSM devices. It doesn't surprise me that your software glitched and displayed the screen. If you see this again, please send me a PM so I can have SE engineers take a look at it.
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
^This!

Also there are still a few diagnostic menus that feature the ability to turn on and off the GSM radio, which would check for the SIM slot to be populated. Now, if the GSM radio is actually still there on top of having the CDMA radio, that would be awesome, but I'm not expecting that, and believe that it is probably a software glitch arising from a similar foundation of code.

BUT! for trying out CM7 on your phone you currently do NOT need the new baseband, although you might need it in the future.

All you need to do is install ROM Manager from the market > flash custom recovery from it > download the required files and follow the instructions available here:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
What about gsm.what is gsm?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] KazeMurasaki:
GSM = Global System for Mobile Communications more or less your phone's ability to work as a phone/connect to your provider's network.

The tricky part with basebands and different ROMs is that once you flash the new baseband (update to official GingerBread), you will not have gsm/network if you go back to a ROM based on the old baseband. Up side is, Mik has taken care of it by coming out with a workaround, which you can find in the FAQ section in the CM7 link I posted earlier.

And btw, searching the forums is a good way to find a lot of useful info, don't get me wrong, I'm new here too, but all the answers I'm giving you, I've managed to find with the search options ;)

[Atrix 4G General] ezyang:
Hello all,

I am a noobie with a Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 AT&T USA Android 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 never before rooted/unlocked/[insert other adjective here] which, as you can guess by looking at the version numbers, I stupidly upgraded before realizing, "Oh hey, rooting this device might be a good idea."

Question is simple: Can I still root this device (and if so, under what conditions?), or do I have to wait?

It's been tough sifting through these forums, since most people already have rooted their device at some point or another and people who have never done so are, ahem, not very clear about their questions.

I haven’t tried particularly hard, but I have looked at SuperOneClick 2.1.1 (hung on "waiting for device"), moto-fastboot32 (tells me "unlock" is not supported, unsurprisingly), and I just downloaded the ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar although I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

Cheers,

Edward
